Haqiqa

Ḥaqīqah (Arabic: حقيقة) is literally translated as essence, or truth (derived from one of the 99 names of Allah, Al-Haqq [الحق], means The Truth). In Sufi thought, it refers to the inward vision of divine power achieved through mystical union with God, or alternatively "the ultimate way". Approached by Sufis through the use of intuitive and emotional spiritual faculties trained under the guidance of a sheikh, it is considered one station in the way towards God. Both Shiis and Sufis believe haqiqa can be reached through adherence to shariah and the principle of tawhid, although specific methods differ.
